Slightly pricey but well-situated and clean. 5 mins from station. Friendly manager (owner?) who gave excellent recommendations about sites to visit to fit different visitors' interests and experience (includign time it takes to see them) Great english breakfast and she'll leave it in your room if you've got (for example) an 8:00 ticket to the Uffizzi. Definately call before arrriving to make sure she's there to let you in. If you're driving and don't mind a walk, try looking for cheaper/free parking in the side streets on the far side of the ring road. We found a free spot in the one way streets near Via della Porte Nuove.

I really like everything about this place to be honest! It's located really close to the station where we got dropped off, and then is between a 5 minute and 20 minute walk to the main sites of interest in Florence depending on where it is exactly you want to go (for example, the Cattedrale di Santa maria del Fiore is 5 mins walk away while Piazzale Michaelangelo is about 20 mins walk) with the bustling market being on route. There were also numerous restaurants in the very close area but the hostel is also an easy walkable distance from other Plazzas with a variety of restaurants to suit all. The owner of the hostel was really friendly and helpful and the included breakfast was more than enough to keep you going for the day until lunch! The rooms were of a good size, with good furnishings and plenty of storage and lockable wardrobes/cupboards, but most notibly the view from our window was so pretty you didn't mind waking up in the morning! The bathroom facilities were good and clean and all worked! A very good value for money, I would recommend this place to anyone hoping for a simple, comfortable stay with easy access to places around Florence :-)

Lockers with lock included. Sink in dorm room. Nice breakfast included. Free internet if you wait long enough for it. Because it is free it is very busy. Walkable to all major sights.

Relatively small place with a very personal feel. The cooked breakfast has good variety, and also gives you a chance to meet others, since everyone sits around one table.

Good location, nice staff, very clean, great breakfast, free internet. Definitely one of the best hostel I have stayed in. The only thing missing was a common kitchen where we could cook our own meals if we wanted to.

We loved the decor (very colourful) and of course the location couldn't be better - right next to the train station.
